"The Navigator is the dedicated scientist armor for the Mercenary subfaction, providing 287.5 Bullet Resistance and the required 400 Environmental Protections for Level 4 zones. It features 144 Laceration protection and a manageable -3% movement speed penalty, providing a balanced profile for Mercenary explorers. Like other subfaction gear, it serves as the essential tool for members operating in the Zone's most lethal anomalous fields. It provides a reliable environmental safety net, though users must rely on their movement and positioning to compensate for its standard hitbox and lower raw durability compared to combat sets."
